ON Semiconductor's SS36 Diodes are Schottky diodes designed for rectification and power supply applications. Its forward voltage drop, fast switching speed, and high efficiency make it suitable for a wide variety of electronic circuits, including power supplies, voltage clamps, solar panels, and automotive electronics.
Function:
SS36 diodes are designed for rectification purposes, allowing current to flow in only one direction (anode to cathode) with a low forward voltage drop. It is commonly used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) in power circuits.
parameter:
SS36 diodes are characterized by the following parameters:
1. Maximum forward voltage drop (Vf): SS36 diodes typically have a maximum forward voltage drop of approximately 0.49 volts when conducting current in the forward direction.
2. Reverse breakdown voltage (Vr): SS36 diodes typically have a reverse breakdown voltage of around 60 volts. This means that if the voltage across the diode is reversed by more than 60 volts, the diode may break down and conduct in reverse.
3. Maximum Forward Current (If): SS36 diodes can handle a maximum forward current of 3 Amps for medium power applications.
4. Switching speed: SS36 diodes have a fast switching speed, allowing them to respond quickly to changes in applied voltage or current.
feature:
SS36 diodes have several characteristics that make them a popular choice in a variety of applications:
1. High efficiency: SS36 diode has low forward voltage, high power efficiency and low power loss.
2. Low Leakage Current: The diode has a low reverse leakage current, ensuring minimal power loss in the off state.
3. Fast recovery time: SS36 diodes have a fast recovery time which helps them to switch quickly and efficiently.
4. High temperature range: SS36 diodes are designed to operate over a wide temperature range, making them suitable for applications requiring reliable performance under varying temperature conditions.
